Integrated Care Bahn BKK & MeineMKK
We participate in the integrated care programs of Bahn BKK and MeineMKK. Our practice has special contracts with these health insurance providers. This allows us to offer therapy appointments quickly and without bureaucratic delays, as the cost coverage is already regulated by the agreements.
Publicly Insured Patients (GKV)
In exceptional cases, billing is handled via the reimbursement procedure. This means you may receive a therapy slot in our private practice if you urgently need psychotherapy and are unable to find a timely appointment with therapists covered by statutory health insurance. If you cannot find a timely appointment with a publicly licensed therapist, you may apply to your insurance provider for reimbursement of psychotherapy costs in a private practice.
The following steps have proven effective when applying for reimbursement:
1. Appointment service centers and initial consultation
Contact the appointment service center of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians or directly schedule an initial psychotherapeutic consultation. There, the need and urgency for treatment will be evaluated and confirmed using the PTV 11 form.
2. Contact your health insurance provider
Ask your health insurance if they can recommend therapists who can begin therapy. Clarify under which conditions your insurance will approve reimbursement. If you encounter unlawful rejections, consider consulting a lawyer specialized in this matter.
3. Rejection log
Keep a record of your attempts to find a therapy spot (date, method of contact, feedback). Download the log here.
4. Schedule an appointment with us and Urgency certificate
If your search remains unsuccessful, you are welcome to contact us. Ask your treating physician for a certificate confirming the urgent need to start psychotherapy.
5. Application
We will support you in submitting your application. Note the deadlines: The provider must respond within 3 weeks (initial sessions) or 5 weeks (full therapy). If they fail to respond, “approval by default” may apply.
Once approved, we can begin with the initial trial sessions (probatorische Sitzungen).
